Let me be clear: not all immigrant men, or even most, indulge in sex attacks or approve of such attacks, but it’s a grave mistake to deny that the value system of the attackers is radically different from the value system of the West. In the West women are emancipated and sexually autonomous. Religiosity and sexual behavior or sexual restraint is determined by women's individual wishes. The other value system is one in which women are viewed as either commodities (that is, their worth depends on their virginity), or on the level of a prostitute if they are guilty of public "immodesty" (wearing a short skirt for example).
I do not believe these value systems can coexist. The question is which value system will prevail. Unfortunately, this remains an open question.
The current situation in Europe is deeply troubling: not only are Muslim women within Europe subject to considerable oppression in many ways, such norms now risk spreading to non-Muslim women who face harassment from Muslim men.

After experiencing the problems first hand in Nicaragua, Mary Ellsberg has devoted her life to advocating for women's rights and social justice worldwide. In her talk, Mary explains her experience and emphasizes the importance of protecting and maintaining basic human rights for everyone.
Mary Ellsberg is the Founding Director of the GlobalWomen's Institute at George Washington University. As a public health researcher and life-long activist, she is committed to conducting research that shines a light on social injustice and contributes to improving the lives of women and girls worldwide. She left college during her senior year to join the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua, and stayed there for the next 18 years, working in community health and women’s rights programs. Dr. Ellsberg carried out the first prevalence study on violence against women in Nicaragua. Since then, she has authored more than 40 books and articles on violence against women and girls globally and was a member of the Core Technical Team of the WHO Multi-country Study on Women’s Health and Domestic Violence against Women. She continues to speak out and is proud to have been arrested twice last year with immigrant’s rights activists protesting the breaking up of families through deportation.

Women also continued to play a vital role in reform movements. Sadly, they got Prohibition enacted in the US, but they did a lot of good stuff, too.

Women's rights

Women's rights are the rights and entitlements claimed for women and girls of many societies worldwide, and formed the basis to the women's rights movement in the nineteenth century and feminist movement during the 20th century. In some countries, these rights are institutionalized or supported by law, local custom, and behavior, whereas in others they may be ignored or suppressed. They differ from broader notions of human rights through claims of an inherent historical and traditional bias against the exercise of rights by women and girls, in favour of men and boys.

Issues commonly associated with notions of women's rights include, though are not limited to, the right: to bodily integrity and autonomy; to vote; to hold public office; to work; to birth control; to have an abortion; to be free from rape; to fair wages or equal pay; to own property; to education; to serve in the military or be conscripted; to enter into legal contracts; and to have marital or parental rights.

Why Don't Feminists Fight for Muslim Women?

Are women oppressed in Muslim countries? What about in Islamic enclaves in the West? Are these places violating or fulfilling the Quran and Islamic law? Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an author and activist who was raised a devout Muslim, describes the human rights crisis of our time, asks why feminists in the West don't seem to care, and explains why immigration to the West from the Middle East means this issue matters more than ever.

Trailer - Becoming Ourselves: How Immigrant Women Transformed Their World

"BecomingOurselves" is a new documentary film about how a social justice organization based in Oakland, California -- Asian Immigrant Women Advocates (AIWA) - focused on the long-term collective leadership of limited-English speaking immigrants, and empowered women and youth to stand up for their rights and become powerful social change agents.
AIWA has been an inspiration to hundreds of low--wage immigrant garment, electronic and home care workers in the Bay Area, and the organization's Community Transformational Organizing Strategy (CTOS) has been an influential model for many immigrant organizations.
After 15 years, YoungShin is taking CTOS on the road to foster a broader dialogue with local communities in Canada and the U.S. about the importance of grassroots leadership development in community organizing.
RaceForward and the Center for Third World Organizing are thrilled to bring this important new film to New York on its premiere tour.

Let me be clear: not all immigrant men, or even most, indulge in sex attacks or approve of such attacks, but it’s a grave mistake to deny that the value system of the attackers is radically different from the value system of the West. In the West women are emancipated and sexually autonomous. Religiosity and sexual behavior or sexual restraint is determined by women's individual wishes. The other value system is one in which women are viewed as either commodities (that is, their worth depends on their virginity), or on the level of a prostitute if they are guilty of public "immodesty" (wearing a short skirt for example).
I do not believe these value systems can coexist. The question is which value system will prevail. Unfortunately, this remains an open question.
The current situation in Europe is deeply troubling: not only are Muslim women within Europe subject to considerable oppression in many ways, such norms now risk spreading to non-Muslim women who face harassment from Muslim men.
One would think that Western feminists in the United States and Europe would be very disturbed by this obvious misogyny. But sadly, with few exceptions, this does not appear to be the case.
Common among many Western feminists is a type of moral confusion, in which women are said to be oppressed everywhere and that this oppression, in feminist Eve Ensler's words, is "exactly the same" around the world; in the West just as in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Iran.
To me, this suggests too much moral relativism and an inadequate understanding of Sharia law. It is true that the situation for women in the West is not perfect, but can anyone truly deny that women enjoy greater freedom and opportunities in the United States, France and Finland than they do in Iran, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia?
Other feminists have also argued that non-Western women do not need "saving" and that any suggestion that they "need" help from Western feminists is insulting and condescending to non-Western women.

After experiencing the problems first hand in Nicaragua, Mary Ellsberg has devoted her life to advocating for women's rights and social justice worldwide. In her talk, Mary explains her experience and emphasizes the importance of protecting and maintaining basic human rights for everyone.
Mary Ellsberg is the Founding Director of the GlobalWomen's Institute at George Washington University. As a public health researcher and life-long activist, she is committed to conducting research that shines a light on social injustice and contributes to improving the lives of women and girls worldwide. She left college during her senior year to join the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua, and stayed there for the next 18 years, working in community health and women’s rights programs. Dr. Ellsberg carried out the first prevalence study on violence against women in Nicaragua. Since then, she has authored more than 40 books and articles on violence against women and girls globally and was a member of the Core Technical Team of the WHO Multi-country Study on Women’s Health and Domestic Violence against Women. She continues to speak out and is proud to have been arrested twice last year with immigrant’s rights activists protesting the breaking up of families through deportation.

In which John Green teaches you about American women in the Progressive Era and, well, the progress they made. So the big deal is, of course, the right to vote women gained when the 19th amendment was passed and ratified. But women made a lot of other gains in the 30 years between 1890 and 1920. More women joined the workforce, they acquired lots of other legal rights related to property, and they also became key consumers in the industrial economy. Women also continued to play a vital role in reform movements. Sadly, they got Prohibition enacted in the US, but they did a lot of good stuff, too. The field of social work emerged as women like Jane Addams created settlement houses to assist immigrants in their integration into the United States. Women also began to work to make birth control widely available. You'll learn about famous reformers and activists like Alice Paul, Margaret Sanger, and Emma Goldman, among others.

"BecomingOurselves" is a new documentary film about how a social justice organization based in Oakland, California -- Asian Immigrant Women Advocates (AIWA) - focused on the long-term collective leadership of limited-English speaking immigrants, and empowered women and youth to stand up for their rights and become powerful social change agents.
AIWA has been an inspiration to hundreds of low--wage immigrant garment, electronic and home care workers in the Bay Area, and the organization's Community Transformational Organizing Strategy (CTOS) has been an influential model for many immigrant organizations.
After 15 years, YoungShin is taking CTOS on the road to foster a broader dialogue with local communities in Canada and the U.S. about the importance of grassroots leadership development in community organizing.
RaceForward and the Center for Third World Organizing are thrilled to bring this important new film to New York on its premiere tour.

Immigration Today: New York City Stories

Over 3 million New York residents were born in another country. New York's historical status as a hub of immigration is as true today as it ever was. And as immigration policies are increasingly in the news cycle, the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism took a look at the real lives of contemporary New York City immigrants: the stories behind the statistics.

Legal Issues Impacting Immigrant and Refugee Women

Women who leave violent relationships often are faced with a complicated legal system including family courts, criminal courts, victim services and child protection agencies. Immigrant and refugee women who leave violent relationships may enter an even more complicated scenario if layered on top of these systems are legal issues related to their immigrant or refugee status which determine their ability to stay, work and access services in Canada.

Every year thousands of immigrants apply for American permanent residence through marriage. There are many immigrants in the US, some staying legally, many others illegally too, most of them want to stay over in the US and receive a green card. Green card through marriage is a commonly tried and tested method; where marrying an American citizen makes the spouse qualify for a green card and ultimately citizenship, which of course has to be approved by the immigration authorities. For this the beneficiary and the petitioner both have to go through an interview at the immigrations office, where they have to prove the authenticity of their marriage.
Since many years now Immigration has become a sensitive issue with plenty of queries being raised about the kind of people who have been migrating to the US. And while there is a lot of skepticism in the minds of US citizens about the need to grant addition citizenship to many immigrants, there are other concerns which are based on issues that veer towards racism, astoundingly in a Through their films the Shah Peerally Productions have always spoken about the concerns of the people. It is a curious situation that the viewers are presented with in the film when Holly and Victor meet Bill Benet, Jenifer Lawrence and Dan Jones, Department of Homeland Security USCIS Officer, Department of State Officer and FBI Special Agent respectively. The interview that follows is an extremely intricate scene in the film. It shows many shades and angles of what actually goes on, often within the confines of such interview sessions in the USCIS offices, how people react, motives, challenges and often opinions of the State versus the people.
Holly and Victor are a married couple, Holly is the petitioner in this case seeking a citizenship for her husband through marriage. While this is common in the country, because of plenty of cases where people have misused this right leading to defrauding the government with a sham marriage the immigration officers have become very vary of such cases. As is always the case in such instances, it is very difficult to judge a false case from an authentic one. The fine lines between suspecting immigration officers who think Victor is using Holy and the couple who seem to be in love, is beautifully brought out in the film.
In the end we see a lot of confusion between the couple, one must also grant the fact that they are like any other couple in such a situation under a great deal of stress and actually break up under the tension. Holly and Victor face the interview under stress and they seem to not only crack up but not tuned into each other too in many ways. What also comes through shockingly is the assumption of the officers and how they are determined to decide the fate of the petition even before the interview is over.
The film not only talks about the realities of life and immigration policies, rules and ways in which people use immigration policies as well as the attitude of the officers, it also teaches people about how they should be prepared for such interviews, face different situations and how they should never lie to the authorities.

Why Don't Feminists Fight for Muslim Women?

Are women oppressed in Muslim countries? What about in Islamic enclaves in the West? Are these places violating or fulfilling the Quran and Islamic law? Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an author and activist who was raised a devout Muslim, describes the human rights crisis of our time, asks why feminists in the West don't seem to care, and explains why immigration to the West from the Middle East means this issue matters more than ever.

Script:
Culture matters. It ‘s the primary source of social progress or regression. Nowhere do we see this more clearly than in the status of women. The Judeo-Christian culture —and perhaps a more apt word is civilization—has produced over time the law codes, language and material prosperity that have greatly elevated women's status.
But this progress is not shared everywhere.
There are still hundreds of millions of people that live in a culture—the Islamic, for instance—that takes female inferiority for granted. Until recently, these cultures—the Western and the Islamic—were, for the most part, separated. But that is changing. Dramatically so.
Large numbers of immigrant men from the Middle East, South Asia and various parts of Africa have brought a different set of values to the West, specifically Europe. More than a million arrived in 2015 alone. More are on the way.
As a result, crimes against girls and women—groping, harassments, assaults and rape—have risen sharply. These crimes illustrate the stark difference between the Western culture of the victims and that of the perpetrators.
Let me be clear: not all immigrant men, or even most, indulge in sex attacks or approve of such attacks, but it’s a grave mistake to deny that the value system of the attackers is radically different from the value system of the West. In the West women are emancipated and sexually autonomous. Religiosity and sexual behavior or sexual restraint is determined by women's individual wishes. The other value system is one in which women are viewed as either commodities (that is, their worth depends on their virginity), or on the level of a prostitute if they are guilty of public "immodesty" (wearing a short skirt for example).
I do not believe these value systems can coexist. The question is which value system will prevail. Unfortunately, this remains an open question.
The current situation in Europe is deeply troubling: not only are Muslim women within Europe subject to considerable oppression in many ways, such norms now risk spreading to non-Muslim women who face harassment from Muslim men.

After experiencing the problems first hand in Nicaragua, Mary Ellsberg has devoted her life to advocating for women's rights and social justice worldwide. In her talk, Mary explains her experience and emphasizes the importance of protecting and maintaining basic human rights for everyone.
Mary Ellsberg is the Founding Director of the GlobalWomen's Institute at George Washington University. As a public health researcher and life-long activist, she is committed to conducting research that shines a light on social injustice and contributes to improving the lives of women and girls worldwide. She left college during her senior year to join the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua, and stayed there for the next 18 years, working in community health and women’s rights programs. Dr. Ellsberg carried out the first prevalence study on violence against women in Nicaragua. Since then, she has authored more than 40 books and articles on violence against women and girls globally and was a member of the Core Technical Team of the WHO Multi-country Study on Women’s Health and Domestic Violence against Women. She continues to speak out and is proud to have been arrested twice last year with immigrant’s rights activists protesting the breaking up of families through deportation.

In which John Green teaches you about American women in the Progressive Era and, well, the progress they made. So the big deal is, of course, the right to vote women gained when the 19th amendment was passed and ratified. But women made a lot of other gains in the 30 years between 1890 and 1920. More women joined the workforce, they acquired lots of other legal rights related to property, and they also became key consumers in the industrial economy. Women also continued to play a vital role in reform movements. Sadly, they got Prohibition enacted in the US, but they did a lot of good stuff, too. The field of social work emerged as women like Jane Addams created settlement houses to assist immigrants in their integration into the United States. Women also began to work to make birth control widely available. You'll learn about famous reformers and activists like Alice Paul, Margaret Sanger, and Emma Goldman, among others.

Every year thousands of immigrants apply for American permanent residence through marriage. There are many immigrants in the US, some staying legally, many others illegally too, most of them want to stay over in the US and receive a green card. Green card through marriage is a commonly tried and tested method; where marrying an American citizen makes the spouse qualify for a green card and ultimately citizenship, which of course has to be approved by the immigration authorities. For this the beneficiary and the petitioner both have to go through an interview at the immigrations office, where they have to prove the authenticity of their marriage.
Since many years now Immigration has become a sensitive issue with plenty of queries being raised about the kind of people who have been migrating to the US. And while there is a lot of skepticism in the minds of US citizens about the need to grant addition citizenship to many immigrants, there are other concerns which are based on issues that veer towards racism, astoundingly in a Through their films the Shah Peerally Productions have always spoken about the concerns of the people. It is a curious situation that the viewers are presented with in the film when Holly and Victor meet Bill Benet, Jenifer Lawrence and Dan Jones, Department of Homeland Security USCIS Officer, Department of State Officer and FBI Special Agent respectively. The interview that follows is an extremely intricate scene in the film. It shows many shades and angles of what actually goes on, often within the confines of such interview sessions in the USCIS offices, how people react, motives, challenges and often opinions of the State versus the people.
Holly and Victor are a married couple, Holly is the petitioner in this case seeking a citizenship for her husband through marriage. While this is common in the country, because of plenty of cases where people have misused this right leading to defrauding the government with a sham marriage the immigration officers have become very vary of such cases. As is always the case in such instances, it is very difficult to judge a false case from an authentic one. The fine lines between suspecting immigration officers who think Victor is using Holy and the couple who seem to be in love, is beautifully brought out in the film.
In the end we see a lot of confusion between the couple, one must also grant the fact that they are like any other couple in such a situation under a great deal of stress and actually break up under the tension. Holly and Victor face the interview under stress and they seem to not only crack up but not tuned into each other too in many ways. What also comes through shockingly is the assumption of the officers and how they are determined to decide the fate of the petition even before the interview is over.
The film not only talks about the realities of life and immigration policies, rules and ways in which people use immigration policies as well as the attitude of the officers, it also teaches people about how they should be prepared for such interviews, face different situations and how they should never lie to the authorities.
